A Gigantic Fraud.

A large number of colored people
around Ft. Mill and Rock Hill have
been the victims recently of gigantic
fraud. Two weeks ago, white man
and two colored men made their apper-
ance among the darkies in AID around
Ft. Mill, and representing themselves as
agents for the American Colonization
Society, stated that they were authorized
to take all the colored people to Liberia.
The terms upon which the colored people
were 10 receive transportation were as
follows: Every family was to pay S.
and individuals S1.50 each. For this
sum, it was represented, they would re-
ceive through passage to Liberia.
The "agents" did thriving business,
and gave each person little piece of
red card board, which, they represented,
would secure them a ticket to Liberia
upon presentation to the ticket agent at
TT. Mill. Monday last was the day set
for the exodus to take place, and before
poon on that day 80 families of colcred
people aud about 200 single individuals
were camped at the depot, waiting for
the train. They deluged the ticket
agent with little red strips of card board,
but the agent was unable to receive the
strips, and could give the deluded people
no encouragement whatever. In the
meantime their expected excursion train
failed to arrive, and nobody could tell
anything about the representatives OF
the colonization society.
About 1000 of these poor people have
been encamped at Fl. Mill, and at last
accounts were there yet. They are in
destitute circumstances, having sold out
everything they had to secure money t.
aid them on their journey.
It is said they paid the "agents" alto
gether 81 500 in cash for the red strips

saw the train approaching rapidly and
was implored by the gentlemen to stop,
but did not heed them. The gentlemen
jumped out but the ladies did not suc'
ceedap doing this until too late. The

rendering. A relief train was promptly
sent to the scene with corps ofsurgeon:

The Chinese Diffusing Themselves Over
Many Parts Of the World.

"People have little idea," said A. B.
Shattuck, who arrived in New York from
Canton last week, chow rapidly the pas.
sion for emigrating is growing in China.
The whole southern Asiatic coast and
many of the Pacific islands are filling
with Chinese. In spite of our prohibi.
tory laws not few Chinese manage to
smuggle themselves into our country, and
they are fairly swarmiug in many places
where nothing is done to keep them out.
"In 1871 only few thousand Chinese
lived in Singapore. Too day the new
China Town is the feature of the place.
Singapore has now $4,000 Chinese resi-.
dents, and last year 100000 Chinese
landed in the city on their way to other
parts of the coast. Cochin Chin Hhich
is now French province, is rapidly
filling with Chinese. Here, as in all
other parts of the south coast of Asia,
the Chinese excel the natives in intelli-
gence, education and business quali6ca.
tions. They assert their superiority in
many ways, and treat most of the natives
as their interiors. In Cochin China the
Chinese merchants have absorbed the
greater part of the trade. They can beat
the natives selling their own products
and many OF them are rich.
SIN Australia the Chinese are growing
in numbers. They control the trade OF
the Gilbert Islands, and are gaining
ground in Hawaii. In many of the
Pacific Islands, like FIJI, where there is
considerable trade, visitor is likely tc
see group of Chinese before his eye
lights on a native. The Chinese are
overrunning Bramah, and there is large
colony of them in Mandalay. A large
party of travelling Chinese merchants
who were on the road in Burmah few
weeks ago, were mistaken by the British
troops for Decoits. The soldiers 6reo
upon them and several poor fellows were
killed.
"The increasing migration among the
hordes of China is one Of the most inter
esting signs of the times. The Mongo
lians are gradually diffusing themselve:

That Odd Skin Complaint,

PHILADELPHIA, December 27.-Dr.
J. V. Shoemaker of this city, when
shown newspaper article giving the
alleged wonderful case of a negro man
and woman who had turned from black
to white aud whose transformation could
not be explained, said 1T is not an un.
common skin disease and is known as
lencoderma. II white people the skin
turns a milky white, but it is more
noticeable in colored persons of course,
owing to the contrast with the dark skin.
The change of color is caused by the de-
slruc,ion or rather absorption of pigment,
which is not formed again and is not
painful. The disease can only be cured
when it is attended at the very start. 1t
is not fatal, and the only bad effect is the
deformity or piebald color it causes. 1t
is quite common among the negroes in
the South, where it is often produced by
malaria"

Logans' Color.

The story of the Logan ancestry and OF
how General Logan inherited or acquir-
ed his appearance of having Indian
blood in his veins has never been pub.
lisbed, never correctly, at least, and is
quite interesting. General Logan's
aunt, Mrs. Margare! Phelps, the sole sur.
vivor of that generation, bright and
wonderfully intelligent old lady, says
that her father and family emigrated
from county Monaghan, Ireland, 1898.
Her father, John Logan, was then q
child Of FIVE. Her grandfather, who was
one of the Scotch Presbyterian settlers of
Ulster, lived to be 11s. The family first
settled in Maryland, and then moved to
Ohio. Her father was a stock breeder,
and her brother John, General Logan's
father, often made journeys South to sell
stock in New Orleans and other cities. On
one of these trips he met the widow of q
Frenchman named Laramie, one of
whose son Fort Laramie is named after.
The widow was half Indian, half French
beautiful, we'll educated and wealthy.
She was considered a great catch, and
suitors came from far and near, but John
was the successful one. When John
married he induced his father and family
to move to Jackson county Mo, where
some of his wife's property was located
and where she lived. By this wife DR..
Logan had one child, girl. Logan had
picked up some medical training in vari.
ons places, and, it is said got degree
during one Of his stays at Natchez, Miss.
DR.. Logan's wife died before 1S2O-the
exact date is not knowu-and he subse.
quently married Elizabeth Jenkins.
General Logan was the first child by the
second marriage. DR.. James Robarts, OF
Carbondale, warm friend of Gen. Lo-
gan and his father, and an old.time
political opponent of Dr.. Logan when be
was running for the State Legislature in
the thirties, comes into the story at this
point, for DR.. Robarts is authority for the
curious tale.
at is physiological fact" says DR..
Robarts, "that the first child by second
marriage frequently resembles the de.
ceased wife or husband to an cxtraordi.
nary degree. General Logan's case is
the most wonderful illustration of this
fact ever heard of. The generals father.
DR.. Logan, was rather dark, but not SO
swartby, while his mother was blue eyed
and fair haired. Yet General Logan,
strange as j, may seem, jnhei Led the In.
dian features and crmplexion of DR.. Lo-
gan's half breed wife who died several
years previously. The first Mrs. Logan
was beautiful, as those half breed women
often are, and was comparatively fair,
much fairer, indeed, than her daughter,
General Logan's half:sister, or than the
General himself. The grandchildren Of
the Generals half-sister, by the by, liv.
ing here in Carbondale, show strongly
marked traces of their Indian descent
